BBC History Magazine

In the May 2010 edition of BBC History Magazine, I write about the 2500th anniversary of the battle of Marathon and its significance for today. Read my article in the magazine and listen to my podcast through the BBC History Magazine website.

Ancient Greece Column

Neos Kosmos Newspaper
On 1st February 2010, Neos Kosmos newspaper in Australia published the first installment of my regular column 'Ancient Greece: the reality'. Look out for new installments every fortnight during 2010, in which I will be investigating everything from Greek democracy to graves, punishments for adultery to prizes in athletic games and from Greece's great battles to its favourite tipple.

The column will also be published online by BBC History Magazine in the UK.

See my latest comment piece in the national press on the Guardian Comment is Free website about the use and importance of Hollywood adaptations of ancient history.
